What do you do when you lose a birth certificate?

    As the title says, I've mislaid it somewhere......and that somewhere may have been on a Bus Éireann Bus 4 days ago.

    I had it on me because I needed to apply for a passport, but I only noticed today that I don't have it anymore.:eek:

    Does anyone know if Bus Éireann have a lost and found service? If not, does anyone know how to get it again? Should I also be worried if someone has ended up getting it and may use it for "false idenity" or something else?

    And yes, I realise I am the biggest of big idiots for losing it and not noticing til now.:(

    You are no longer born - however, it takes time a while to catch-up and realise this. You will slowly fade away over the next 5 minutes.

    throw the baby out, make a new one

    So have you applied for the passport? If you get the passport you should be able to be re-issued a birth certificate.

    If not, well then technically you no longer exist :D

    go to your local births, deaths and marriages office and get a new one.

    Simple as that.

    I suppose if I don't exist, I can technically do what I want anymore.

    But thanks for the actual advice cloneslad, this is quite urgent as I need it for my new job that starts on Monday :(

    There's a good black market for birth certs, i could get you one cheap, do you fancy being born in 1952 and named Mary Gallagher?


  • Subscribers Posts: 32,855 ✭✭✭✭5starpool


    Thanks OP. A second birth cert for me will make up for the pain of being on a bus :pac:

    You have to go back in time and get your mam and dad to kiss at the high school dance again or you'll fade away to nothing. In fact the whole future could be changed.

    Make sure and finish with a dose of this...

    Go to the one where you were born, not where you live now.
    If you can bring something with your parents names on.

    AH
    You might end up with someone elses ;)

    Employer need to know you've been born, there's strict laws against hiring fetuses.
